    okay...
  • I disagree with alot of those, not even the best of some of those bands


    It was more a question and that was my answer. Not necessarily meant to be the best. It's stuff that gets overlooked alot, and doesnt necessarily get alotta radio play, where people can hear it all the time.

    And really all of those are arguably among the groups best

    So should I make a list of the best albums of all time or just overlooked great albums?

    and if I may cheat, there are also a couple of Phish jams everyone should hear, including "Bathtub Gin" from the Great Went (8/17/97). Absolutely beautiful.

  • I was just askin to maybe find a few cool albums I don't own. I stand by my choices. You can hear tons of Zeppelin, Beatles, and Floyd on the radio, but virtually nothin from the 3 albums I selected. Most people have heard of the other bands, and maybe wondered how good they were.

    Of course it can be stuff that gets played quite a bit too, b/c there is obviously a reason for that.
  • Here is a list of albums that many have not heard but should hear

    Weezer - Pinkerton
    Tom Petty - Wildflowers
    The Verve - Urban Hymns
    Oasis - Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants
    Pearl Jam - Yield
    The Redwalls - De Nova
    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81
    Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecolegyst
    Joy Division - Closer
    The Vines - Vision Valley
    Atmosphere - Overcast

  • Neutral Milk Hotel is fucking weird as hell... his voice is annoyingly good... the music is random ass shit, but sounds awesome. It's hard to explain, better to just listen for yourself.
